... that your statement "WMA lossless ... as good as FLAC" does not tell
the whole story.

Whether or not either format is "as good as" the other depends on other
factors.

For use with the Squeezebox or Transporter FLAC would seem to have the
upper-hand since it is decoded natively on the client device which means:

1. No transcoding on the server
2. FF/REW work
3. Reduced bandwidth usage (assuming WMA lossless is decoded to .wav)

R.
